{Trigger warning: This message is about an experience of trauma, shock and panic}
The other day, I was driving on the freeway, and there was a piece of tire on the road, in my lane.
Unfortunately, I had no lead time and couldn’t swerve to avoid it. My car ran over it and it took off a piece of the car's undercarriage.
I pulled off the freeway and drove into a parking lot.
My body went into a state of panic, fear, and anxiety.
I knew why. I’ve been in multiple car accidents, and my body was remembering.
I felt like crying but it wasn’t coming.
I had an hour to wait in the parking lot for the tow truck.
Fortunately, I knew what to do — that I wish I had done those times that my car had been impacted in the past.
This time, I had the tools to release the trauma in my body/mind/spirit.
Emotional Freedom Technique
There is a tool that I use for myself and my clients that heals trauma and releases anxiety/panic/shock from the nervous system (which comes in very handy when these things arise in dating and relationships).
It’s called the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping) and it works incredibly well.
So I began tapping. I tapped for 30 minutes and then I bawled my eyes out.
I tapped on the tension in my body from what had just happened. I tapped on the fear, panic, shock, and anxiety that had come up.
I felt so much better, stable and aligned.
I am so grateful that I have this technique to release fear, anxiety, shock, etc. from my system quickly.
Most importantly, I am so grateful that I had the self-love, and awareness in place to use this tool immediately when I most needed it.
This is one of the many tools I teach in my program to help you heal from your own intense experiences and release anxiety/fear/shock from your system.
And, most importantly, so you have the awareness and motivation to use it on yourself when you need it — when you’re triggered!
